August Pads Pros & Cons according to customers

Pros
  • August's day and night pads are soft and absorptive, with organic cotton biodegradable products.
  • August's products are customizable and affordable, with no tampon tax.
  • August's products are comfortable and the tampons don't feel like there's something poking the uterus.
  • August has created a lovely community and inclusivity around their products.
  • August's products are eco-friendly and make a positive impact on the world.
Cons
  • Pad wings and mid section of pad do not stick, causing the pad to be very unstable and insecure.
  • Pad wrinkles up easily and wings don't stick well.
  • Tampons are harder to insert than Tampax or Playtex, and the mechanism to release the tampon from the insert is not as smooth/effective.
  • Pads have limited surface area and don't absorb as much as other brands.
  • Shipping takes 6-7 business days to arrive.
